rose to change his plans. The sen
ior Senator has been expected to
pay the Legislature a visit, similar
. to the one he made two years ago.
1 | His proposed visit here may have
) something to do with the charter
' measures.
j General opposition to the charter
' measures as they now stand has de
! veloped among the members of the
Philadelphia delegation, irrespective
of factions. Among the legislators
from other sections of the State
! there is a feeling of apathy toward
; the bills. Governor Sproul pledged
the charter revisionists at the char-!
ter revision conference dinner in ]
'Philadelphia to use his influence in j
behali of the charter measures. The;
Governor because of his vast busi-;
; ness interests and his social con-|
! nections in Philadelphia is much in- ■
! terested in charter reform. But
{whek he pledged nis influence .11
I behalf of a new chai ter ho specified |
j certain things, one of which was;
that charter revisions should be!
carried out along practical lines.
Nonpartisan Bill
Representative Hugh A. Dawson,!
of Scranton, announced today that!
1 he intends to get his bill repealing!
the nonpartisan election law out of'
committee next week and is quite!
j hopeful of its passage. He says not
lone has asked for a hearing and|
little opposition to the legislation has 1

money back. What this truly won- j

been developed. Mr. Dawson said
he had intended to ask for an af
firmative report of the bill this week,
but had not done so because of the
absence of the chairman of the
House Elections committee. When
informed that Speaker R. S. Spang
| ler had not sent his bill to the Elec
tions committee, but had committed
it to Municipal Corporations of
which William F. Stadtlander, of
Pittsburgh, is Chairman, the Scran
ton member expressed surprise.
Senator M. G. Leslie, of Pitts
burgh, is interested in the passage
of this repealer and Mr. Stadtlander
is one of his lieutenants. As Mr.
Leslie is much given to looking af
ter details, there is no doubt' that
he would prefer to have the legisl
tion in the custody of Chairman
Stadtlander. The deia." 11l tepoct
ing the bill has been tor the pur
pose of giving the opponents of the
legislation an opportunity to ask for
a hearing. As the Pittsburgh or
ganizations and individuals opposed
to the striking down of the non- j
partisan law have failed to get busy. I
the friends of the bill will claim,
that there is no real opposition to it'
and proceed to pass the measure. 1
The argument will be used with the:
Governor that no hearings were'
asked for which is indicative at least 1
of a lack of interest on the part of |
Pittsburgh.
Widows of Men
Killed at Trades,
to Be Restricted
Pittsburgh. March 6. Toung
widows of men killed in industrial
pursuits will not receive compensa
tion in a lump sum if it appears
that they are likely to remarry, said
Chairman Harry S. Mackey, of the
Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensa
tion Board, at a meeting here. The
chairman pointed out that weekly
payments to such widows stop when
they remarry.
Of the 150 cases before the board
hefe, the chairman estimated that
100 are cases in which it is asked
that compensation be made in lump
sums instead of weekly payments.

LEGISLATORS
TALK ROAD WORK
Highway Commissioner Says
Primary Roads Will Not
Be Changed Now
Highway Commissioner Sadler as
sured a legislative delegation that
the State Highway Department will
co-operate with the authorities of
Mifflin county insofar as possible in
the construction of lateral roads.
He promised early improvement of
the section of road between JifcVey
town and Lewistown, but declared it
is not feasible' to include the Mt.
Union-McYey town-Lcwist own road
on the State's primary system. As
a result, the William Penn Highway,
routing through Mifflin county, will
be from Lewistown through Burn
ham, Belleville and Allensvllle to
Huntingdon,
Members of this delegation told ■
Commissioner Sadler that for the I
purpose of improving: the Lewistown i
McVeytown road, owners of quarries
near that thoroughfare will grivc the '
department all the limestone needed J
John Shaver, of Mt Union, one of j
the delegation, told the commission- '
er that he is a candidate for com- :
missioner in Mifflin county and will '
run on a good-roads-for-Mifflin j
basis. In this partv were Repre- 1
sentatives C. G. Corbin. of Mifflin,
and 1/. R. Crum, of Huntingdon: i
Tom S, Johnson, Robert Montgom- i
cry. Dr. Hcndron. Meredith Meyers, f
George McCoy, Dr. Hutchinson and
Martin Kochenderfer. all of T/ewis- i
town: and the Rev. M. R. Keim, of i
Newton Hamilton.
Mr. Sadler in conversation with a i
delegation from Juniata County said j
that there was once an idea that j
it was impossible to build a perma- |
nent road. "The permanent road •
idea is not a laughable one any- '
more" said Commissioner Sadler. '
"The Highway Department of Penn- j
sylvania proposes to put down j
foundations which, with reasonable,
care, will answer for all the time." i
The delegation ashed the Commis- ■
sibner whether it would not be pos- j
sible to consider route 19.4, from j
Mifflintown to Selinsgrove as a por- I
tion of the State's primary system, j
instead of route 28, from Lewistown J
to Selinsgrove. The Commissioner
Informed them that this was impos- J
sible under the present program.
A delegation from Fulton County, 1
headed by Senator Miller, of Somer- j
set county, saw the Commissioner
relative to the MeConnellsburg-Mt. j
Union road, consisting of portions |
of routes 192, 193 and 121. They'
suggested this route as a better con- |
netting link between , the William |
Penr. and Lincoln Highway than the {
route between McConnellsburg and i
Mifflintown.
Krie and Westmoreland counties 1
came to the front with substantial i
offers to supplement the State's i
highway construction program with I
millions of dollars worth of road j
improvement, the Erie countians j
alone informing the Commissioner
that their county had $1,300,000 ap
proved for building. The Erie pro- I
gram was one of the most extensive
from any county, covering thirty- .
one and a half miles. The West- |
moreland people said they would
cooperate with Allegheny in im
provement of the William Penn j
highway from Monroeville to Pitts-| j
burgh.
The Erie people included Mayor j
M. B. Kitts. William C. Kraemer, j
and Joseph P. Rogan, who stated (
that the county would build and
would like state aid. Mr. Sadler
explained the situation in regard I
to roads contracted for which he J
said would be built and that the con- j
struction to give a good across the '
county road connecting Ohio and i
New York was down for early work. !
Somerset county roads were dis- |
cussed by Ex-Highway Commission
er Frank B. Black; Senator John S. i
Miller, John X,ochrie and W. T. |
Geddes who were interested in j
the Windber-Johnstown road. The
latter two also asked for improve- I
ment of the road between Geistown |
and Scalp Bevel which is not in the
primary system. D. E. Morgan, pres
ident of the Tjackawanna Motor
Club and Joseph Jermvn, of Scran
ton. went over plans for the Eacka
wanna Trail and Representative W.
M. Benninger and a number of Ea
fayette college professors and other ;
Easton men suggested that the de- I
partment's second and third year i
program be changed. They approv- j
ed the general program with the ex- ;
ceptlon of moving up the construe- !
tion on the road to Philadelphia.
Sold Champagne at
$l5 a Bottle at the
Franco-American Club
Paris. March G.—Much comment
has been aroused by the raid made j
on the Franco-American Parlhenon j
Club by Inspector Tanguy, of thej
Paris police. The inspector says |
that he suspected that various j
games of chance were in operation |
there and declares he discovered j
that champagne was being sold for;
$l5 a bottle and that orangeade cost'
one franc a glass. The evidence, '
the inspector added, was sufficient 1
to warrant the closing of the club.
Thirty men. including several Am-j
erican officers, and ten women were '
in the club when the Inspector and .
his me walked io on Monday night.
Baroness Brault. who presided j
over the destinies of the club, says'
that it was merely a literary and !
artistic organization, he is indignant!
over various reports in circulation •
and declares that the only purpose of
the club was to entertain American
officers.
Wage of 50 Cents an
Hour Too Low at
Reading, Board Finds
New York, March 6.—The Na- j
tional War Eabor Board in execu- ;
tive session here handed down deci
sions in several labor disputes in
different parts of the country.
The board found in the case of
nine metal manufacturing concerns !
in the vicinity of Reading, Pa., that |
50 cents an hour was too low a wage
for mechanics, machinists, toolmak
ers and helpers and recommended !
that the scale be materially increas- I
ed, although no award was made.

vegetable disease known and until
its appearance in Freeland the
United States was entirely free of

fact, the United States was known
throughout the world as one of the
great potato-growing countries that
never suffered from this wart disease
—a disease that frequently reduced
European countries to u famlned
potato condition.
A strict quarantine has been in
stituted in lower Luzerne, Schuyl

affected area no person is permitted
to grow potatoes. The state gov
ernment is co-operaling with the
United States government in fight
ing the disease, the principal treat
